Booking
Tables, tickets, appointments, reservations, and moving them. Below are 18 recorded examples of people doing exactly this with a messaging agent, with what each one shows and where it came from.

An investor says his Muse checked the hotel's own website against Expedia and Booking, found the direct rate 5 to 10 per cent cheaper with free cancellation, and turned up a $50 hotel credit.
Why it is notable
The answer, a day later, to the reader who said an agent routed through an online travel agency is just another online travel agency: here one compared the agencies against the hotel and came back with the hotel, the flexible rate and a credit. It is also the first sighting of an agent comparing where to book rather than booking where it was told, and it lands in the week its maker announced a partnership with one of the agencies it priced.

A user gave Muse five lines: a good barber in his city, under $50, free on Sunday at 11:30, checked against Google reviews and Reddit, and no fades because he gets a crew cut. He says it found one, picked the best reviewed, and booked the appointment without him opening Google or leaving the app.
Why it is notable
The instruction is the useful part, five constraints in five lines with the taste stated as a negative, and the agent's work was the research plus the booking rather than either alone. No subject page holds it yet: barbers, salons and the like are one post here so far, and a subject is a key only once it has posts. What the booking ran through, a booking site or a call, is not in the post.

A user says Instinct invented a middle name for him when it booked a flight, and that he cannot board because the name on the ticket does not match his identification. Posted with a screenshot, and seen more than two hundred thousand times in a day.
Why it is notable
The most-seen failure on this site by a distance, and a specific one: a field the agent filled with something that was not in any document it had, on the one form where a wrong name has a consequence at a gate. Whether the airline reissued the ticket, and what Instinct said, are not in the post.

A founder gave Instinct her Barry's login and it booked a class around her schedule without being asked; told once to change the booking from floor to treadmill, it will keep the preference. The same day it recommended a party, found the Luma invitation online, and suggested she stay only an hour because it knew the timing of her own launch. Her earlier verdict, quoted in the post: Instinct is better than Muse for being in her personal iMessage, for messaging first, and for design, with the core capabilities similar.
Why it is notable
A booking made on a handed-over login without a request, which is the acts-first row on the listing shown as a gym class, and a preference kept after one correction. The party recommendation is the more interesting half: the agent weighed her own calendar against an invitation it went and found. Her verdict on the two products, from somebody using both, is the reason this sits on the head-to-head.

A founder gave Muse and Instinct the same job at the same time: book a restaurant and pay the reservation fee. Muse got through faster; he went with Instinct because it let him use his own browser, so his Link payment details were already filled in, where Muse's in-app browser was not.
Why it is notable
The rare side-by-side, and the difference he found was the browser rather than the model: whose browser the agent drives decides whether the person's saved payment details are there. That is the row this site records as the browser approach, and it decided the outcome.

A founder booked a New York trip through Muse and singles out the Stripe Link connection for the payment as the part that felt intuitive. He rates it ten out of ten as a personal agent.
Why it is notable
One of several sightings that name the payment rail as the thing that worked, which is the row this site records as who holds the card: Muse pays through Link, and the user noticed.

In two days a user had Muse book a California DMV appointment for his wife, renew his car registration, scan his email for open items, and create calendar events for other people.
Why it is notable
Government errands, the DMV and a registration, from a user who calls himself not technical; the second DMV sighting on Muse's record, and the same job Instinct's users reported for the school portal.

Told about a morning flight, Muse compared a ride against airport parking, bought a Groupon to halve the parking, booked it through the browser, and told the user when to leave.
Why it is notable
A decision, a purchase to enable a second purchase, and a booking, from one sentence about a flight. The author works in applied AI at Ramp, which is a fintech, not a subject here.

Added to a Muse beta with voice calling, a user had it call contractors, then follow up by email with photos, arranging an estimate he does not need to be present for. He adds that people who get good at agent-to-agent will clean up.
Why it is notable
The second outside account of the calling beta in a day, and this one reached strangers: contractors who were phoned by an agent and then emailed by it. The post does not say whether they were told; the calls piece on this site counts who publishes that, and Meta's pages do not yet.

To set up doctor and dentist appointments, a user had Muse email the office and call and leave a voicemail; the office came back to confirm. He then had Grok Bot fill in the new-patient paperwork, and Muse added the dates to his calendar from the confirmation email.
Why it is notable
Two agents in one errand, each given the part it had context for, which is the split several users now describe. The voicemail is a call to a stranger; whether the office knew who left it is not in the post.

During a Heathrow outage, a user's Muse found a hotel inside the terminal and prefilled the booking form; he, his wife and daughter got a room and a few hours of rest. Posted in reply to Meta's chief AI officer's $1,000 challenge, so it is an entry in the vendor's frame as well as a sighting.
Why it is notable
A booking under pressure, in an airport, and the agent stopped at the prefilled form rather than paying, which is the approval line several sightings describe. Filed with the campaign frame.

Asked to find primary-care doctors on his insurance and book one, Muse searched Zocdoc and offered options; the one he chose could not be booked online, so it handed back to him, and then followed up the next day until he called and booked it.
Why it is notable
A hand-off sighting: the agent reached the limit of what it could book, said so, and then did the thing a human assistant does, which is keep asking. The follow-up is the part the user rated.

A user reports a notification that his Muse can now place phone calls through two named voice agents, and that he scheduled a call to a jeweller for the next day to have two rings resized. He asks the Muse team whether it is working yet.
Why it is notable
The first outside account of Muse placing calls, arriving as a beta notification rather than a page: Meta's own pages still say nothing about calls, so the capability row here stays as they state it and this is the sighting that says the feature exists. The two agent names are what the person on the other end would hear.

An investor asked where to go for dinner. Muse recommended Bar Agricole and tried for seven minutes to book it, and could not get through, because the restaurant closed two years ago.
Why it is notable
The clearest failure sighting on Muse's record: a recommendation from stale data, followed by seven minutes of persistence against a place that no longer exists. Worth having beside the successes because it shows what the agent does when the world and its sources disagree, which is keep trying.

A founder's day across three agents: Hermes reordered his contact lenses and drafted the family schedule, Instinct found and ordered a replacement showerhead, and Muse booked an anniversary dinner, driving the browser inside the thread.
Why it is notable
Three listings from this directory in one person's day, each given a different errand, which is the clearest picture yet of how a heavy user splits the work. Filed on Muse for the booking; the other two are on their listings' records by reference.

A user's Resy account was deactivated and all of his future reservations cancelled after what the platform called behaviour in violation of its terms. The cause was his own agent: he asked Instinct for its activity log and it reported roughly 200 API requests an hour around the clock, an availability sweep of one restaurant every ten minutes since Friday morning at 17 to 19 calls a run, and a two and a half minute burst at the 9am table drop polling every 0.4 seconds.
Why it is notable
It is the first recorded case of one of these agents getting its owner banned from a service, and the numbers make it plain that nothing malicious happened: the agent did exactly what it was asked, continuously, at a rate no person could produce. The user's own verdict was that the platform's action was fair. Every listing here that books a table is doing some version of this, and not one of them publishes what it does on your behalf while you are not watching, which is why the activity log is the most useful thing in the story.

A sceptical user gave Muse and Instinct the same job, researching tickets for a Rosh Hashanah dinner. Muse completed the booking through its payment integration while Instinct was still searching for the RSVP.
Why it is notable
It is the only head-to-head anybody has run in public with one prompt and two agents, and the thing that decided it was not reasoning: one had a payment rail wired in natively and the other did not. That is a field on these listings rather than a matter of model quality.

Instinct announced that each agent now has an email address of its own, and demonstrated it by booking a tennis court: the agent said it would use its own address so the confirmation would not clutter the user's inbox, then returned a reservation card in the thread. The company describes it as a first step towards the agent owning and running its own accounts.
Why it is notable
An agent with its own email address is an account holder. The booking, the confirmation and the receipt belong to an address the person does not read, which decides who can cancel, who gets told when something changes, and what is left if the product shuts down. None of that is on a features page, and the same mechanism is what let another user hand a second company's agent access to the same mailbox.
